Rather than saying, 'My checking account is a wreck,' change it to 'I will learn how to track my spending and balance my checkbook.'

I am not going to take a role because there's money. It might extend my checkbook, but not my integrity.

If you want your checkbook to follow your heart, make a donation to those doing work you support.

Don't let your mouth write a check that your tail can't cash.

I'm not the hands-on guy. I like writing the check, and I turn it over to the guys that make it happen, much like the way I ran my business.

We don't have a good legal justification for breaking up the banking system. But if I could wave a magic wand, I'd break up the banking system.

I don't sell enough books to pay for the lawyers, however. And these various problems finally became too much.

I'd rather write a check than make myself look ridiculous.

So to make those checks better, I used to steal lollipops and sell them at school - but I got caught.
